BEST NAKED BIKE

BEST NAKED BIKE

Just received this months BIKE mag.Top 25 naked bikes.Fazers (any form) don't figure!!!25th is the CB500 with the Street Triple being 1st.No complaints about the triple, but are V-max, F800R, Bandit 1200, SV650, Hornet 600 AND 900 really better that our Fazers Yet in a seperate further article near back page, SH praises the Lava red 2006 FZ1S so much that he wants another one. Best naked? - Fazers equal best kep secret then eh?I'm off to Ebay to find me a CB500.

9th ZRX12008th B-King3rd Tuono2nd Diaveland okay, accepted that the FZS & FZ1S has a bit more than just a bikini, but I still consider it to be a naked bike, my GS1000S in 1980 was a proper half fairing.Anyways, there's still the totally naked FZ1 innit??Not a mention and no Kebab, not a mention for ANY Fazer style bike of any CC's.

Whilst I've no wish to change my superb Fazer Thou, I do agree the Triumph Street Tripple is nice (even admiring one to-day at High Beech), BUT am I alone in thinking that their twin headlamp set-up looks awful?

I test rode the Street3 when I still had my '01 Fazer 600, and, apart from it looking a bit more up to date, (maybe!) I couldn't see what the fuss was about. Try as I might, I couldn't make it go any faster, it didn't seem to handle any better, and it wasn't as comfortable.
A very over-rated bike IMO, as the Fazer was under-rated.
